Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Pablo nos recuerda que nuestro bautismo significa mucho más que un baño. En el bautismo compartimos la muerte, sepultura y resurrección de Jesús. Lo que Él hizo para salvarnos ahora se ha compartido con nosotros. Morimos al pecado y somos levantados como personas nuevas, limpios y hechos santos, con el poder del Espíritu Santo. Hemos sido librados del poder y la pena del pecado.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul reminds us that our baptism was more than just a dunking in water. In baptism, we share in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. What he did to save us, we now get to share with him in doing. We died to sin and were raised to be a new person, cleansed and made holy, empowered and indwelled by the Holy Spirit. We have been set free from the power and penalty of sin and the limits of our mortal physical bodies. This experience we had with Jesus is our physical connection, our assurance of our future spiritual glory with him! Why? Since "we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection."
Mi oración
Padre, gracias por darme una nueva vida en Jesús. Estoy profundamente agradecido que mi culpa está cubierta por tu gracia. Pido tu ayuda para vivir mi vida libre del pecado. Perdóname por mis momentos de mediocridad y consentimiento del pecado. Dame un sentido fuerte del rechazo a cualquier cosa que ensucie el alma o que me distraiga el corazón de tu voluntad. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for giving me new life in Jesus. I am truly thankful that your grace covers my guilt, makes me holy, and gives me assurance of my future. I ask for the Holy Spirit's power to live my life in freedom from sin. Please forgive me for allowing my passion to slip into mediocrity and sin. Give me a strong sense of revulsion toward anything that would pollute my soul or distract my heart from your will. I refuse to be a slave to sin, and I choose to build my life on my promised future with you. In the name of Jesus, I thank you and recommit my life to you today. Amen.
